Built around your shop — not bolted on

By the time they hang up, the driveway alternator swaps is quoted, booked, and on the tech's phone.

Not an AI receptionist bolted onto someone else's software. DispatchNode prices from your mobile mechanic catalog and rules, books the job on the board, collects Stripe, and the tech sees it on their phone.

Anatomy of a Lost Job

7:15 PM - Urgent Call

A driver calls about a car that won't start in their driveway before work.

6:22 AM – No Answer

"Please leave a message or press 1 for..."

7:18 PM - Lead Hangs Up

Searches Google, hires a competitor who answers.

Bottom Line

-$450

Estimated Opportunity Lost

The Old Way:
Losing Repairs to Voicemail.

A stranded driver dials three mobile mechanics. The first two go to voicemail. The AI agent answers on the first ring, confirms a 35-minute ETA, and locks in a $450 alternator replacement before the driver calls a tow truck at $150.

A caller says "my car won't start" with zero additional detail. The AI agent runs a diagnostic logic tree: clicking sound points to starter, no dash lights points to battery, grinding points to flywheel. It extracts year, make, and model to generate an exact parts list before dispatch.

A mechanic is on jack stands under a vehicle and physically cannot reach their phone. The AI agent captures every inbound call, books it into the route, and texts the mechanic a summary when they finish the current job.

Mobile Mechanic — why missed calls hurt

Market reality

A nurse walks to her car in a hospital parking lot at 6:45 AM, turns the key, and hears nothing but a rapid click. She has 15 minutes before her shift starts and will book the first mobile mechanic who answers with a firm ETA — a $380 starter replacement that takes under 40 minutes to close.

How Onyx wins the job

A nurse's SUV won't start in a hospital parking lot at 6:45 AM. The AI agent answers on the first ring, asks about warning lights and sounds, and identifies rapid clicking with dim dash lights — a classic starter failure. It pulls the 2019 Honda CR-V's OEM starter part number from the VIN, cross-references the mechanic's van inventory database, confirms the exact starter is in stock, and dispatches the tech with a 35-minute ETA. The mechanic replaces the starter in the parking lot for $380, and the nurse makes her 7:30 AM shift. Zero tow truck fees, zero manual phone calls.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the AI agent diagnose mechanical failures before rolling a truck?

The AI agent runs a structured diagnostic logic tree that asks about warning lights, fluid puddles under the vehicle, and specific sounds — clicking, grinding, or silence. It maps the symptom combination against common failure patterns for the caller's exact year, make, and model to output a precise parts list and labor estimate.
